9S12DG256 SCI0 not working with AsmIDE D-Dug12 V4

Hi
  I am working on a project for school and I am having trouble getting the SCI0 interrupt to work on my mini-dragon board from wytec (evbplus.com).  I have verified my code works in TExaS with the interrupt, but I am unable to get it to work on the AsmIDE terminal window.

I can have the MCU send ASCII characters to the terminal, but I am unable to use keyboard entries to generate the interrupt.  

I am using a USB to RS232 adapter, AsmIDE program D-bug12 V4.
I can load the program into RAM or EEPROM and the I/O on the ports are working correctly, but I am stuck on how to test/verify the interrupt.
Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.
